July 23, 2009- White Sox Mark Buehrle became the 18th pitcher to ever throw a perfect game when he shut down the Tampa Rays 5 – 0 at U.S. Cellular Field. Buehrle was helped in the top of the 9th inning when Dewayne Wise, who had just entered the game for defensive purposes, made the catch of his career, leaping above the wall in left center to snare a ball hit by Gabe Kapler. On the way down he started to lose the ball then grabbed it out of the air with his bare hand. Buehrle completed the task in 2:03, the exact same amount of time as his no hitter in 2007. He became only the 4th pitcher in MLB history to ever throw a perfect game and a no hitter joining Cy Young, Sandy Koufax and Randy Johnson in this elite company.
